Hi Bob, Interesting! As it happens we have included a material science experiment/demonstration into the requirements for the educational payload of FUNcube. It will actually measure the temperature of two pieces of aluminium facing the same direction in space. We had already concluded to hav

Hi Bob, Very interesting work. I appreciate you sharing the results. This issue of thermal stabilization has been a very interesting "art" although some will say it's a science. Your aluminum cleanliness find goes a long way to helping me understand it as science. Regards...Bill - N6GHz Rober

Morning Bruce and everyone. This really amazes me. Now is these spec's below for in a vacuum of space? Or on the earth's surface with Air. Reason asking is, if this is indeed true, then why does every solar heat panel be painted black? Not air panels by the numbers given below an Air panel
